Through the greatness of the universe, which philosophy contemplates, the mind also is rendered great, and becomes capable of that union with the universe which constitutes its highest good. -B.Russell

Pieces of life

These are some pictures of past and present, without any system of categorisation.

Mamma and babbo at a Bonobo concert in Rome. I couldn’t be there, but started liking Bonobo after that. I thought the music was very cool and that my parents were very hip.

Me being interviewed about sleep near St. Paul’s cathedral. I was getting lunch with Nikita during his break from work.
Three pictures mamma took of her kids. We took a walk by the beach on a winter day when I visited home from Vienna.

My favourite picture with brother Andi sitting on a tree back in the days.
A picture of our cat when it was a puppy and climbed himself up anywhere.

Once mamma visited me in Munich and we got icecream after dinner. She has an addictive passion for Jugendstil (Wiener Secession) and was showing me a book about it. She especially loves Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt. I agree and particularly like Schiele’s hands. In fact on the right there is a picture of when mamma, Andi and Edo visited me during my time at Columbia in New York and we had a look at the Klimt Museum next to Central Park on the Upper East Side.

A picture of mamma sitting in her garden with our cat. Apparently they have deep discussions during coffee breaks.
A picture of when Floh was still alive. We were stretching in the garden. We all miss her.
